A state academy in a city with an unusual amount of aviation training in it, priced between the cheapest state rate cards and the private schools.
Hyderabad is the one city in this directory where a student can seriously compare a state academy and a private academy without moving, and this is the state half of that comparison. It sits between the cheapest state rate cards and the private cluster on price, which is a useful position: it is not the bargain that a per-hour state rate card is, and it is not the premium a private campus charges.
The figure comes from listing sites rather than from the academy, which is the normal state of affairs for state academies. Their fee documents exist but are often published as circulars or attachments rather than as pages, and they are not always current when they are found.
Because this is a state academy, the same caution applies here as at every state route in this directory: the sticker is the easy part, and aircraft availability is what decides whether the sticker turns into a licence in eighteen months or in three years.

Licence course: read from aggregator college listings, checked 15 June 2026.
Admission runs through the state academy's own process rather than a rolling private intake, so the timing is set by the academy's calendar rather than by when you are ready to start.
Ask for the current fee document rather than accepting a listing figure, and ask for it against the same course you are comparing elsewhere.
The academy publishes no fee page we could read, so this figure is Reported and unconfirmed against the academy itself.
What the fee includes and excludes is not stated anywhere we found, so accommodation, meals and the statutory costs are all unquantified.
Nothing above is the whole cost of becoming a pilot. Our pilot training cost in India page has the full stack from the medicals to the type rating, and CPL course fees in India puts this school's licence figure next to the rest of the market.
It is substantially below it on the sticker. Both figures on our pages are Reported rather than published, so treat the gap as indicative and get both in writing before you decide.
It can be, and that is the trade you are making. Ask about aircraft on line and slot waits, because that is what turns a lower fee into a longer course or does not.
College listing sites, not the academy. We label it Reported for exactly that reason and we would rather you verified it than assumed it.
